John Hagee brings his show to Washington D.C. this week.
Over 4,000 Christians are gathering in Washington this week to advocate for Israel and simultaneously the end of times on Capitol Hill.
The fourth annual summit of Christians United for Israel (CUFI) has brought together Christian leaders and supporters of Israel from around the country, starting Monday and continuing through Wednesday.
Pastor Hagee, and his new political action committee, Christians United for Israel (CUFI) launched in 2006, represents perhaps the most peculiar cast of characters ever assembled in Washington D.C. Many Washington insiders have great difficulty getting their arms around the whole CUFI phenomenon. CUFI is a tremendous supporter of Israel, yet its founder, John Hagee, a former anti-catholic bigot and current megaTV evangelist, has his flock pray, if not for Israel's nuclear annihilation, certainly some sort of end of times catastrophe involving Jerusalem.
Pastor Hagee is on the record saying he hopes to deliver his followers to heaven in a biblical moment of Rapture. What is so confounding to many are Pastor Hagee's pronouncements and prophesies, which are clearly at Israel's expense, yet Rev. Hagee is cheered on, unbelievably, by prominent Jewish leaders like ex-VP candidate and US Senator Joe Lieberman and TV commentator William Kristol. Senator Lieberman went so far as to call Mr. Hagee some kind of modern day "Moses"
Here is what Mr. Hagee had to say on CNN in an interview with Glen Beck.
HAGEE: Well, there are ten Bible signs that we`re living in the end of days
CNN Glen BECK: End of the world as we know it in five years, 10 years, 20years?
John HAGEE: I don`t think we`ll get past 20 years.
